PROBLEM OVERVIEW: An Oracle Server X7-2L Front Indicator Module needs replacement

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

If the system is still up and functioning, customer should perform an orderly and graceful shutdown of applications and OS.  Then power off the server and remove the AC power cords from the system.

A data backup is not a prerequisite but is a wise precaution.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1. Prepare the server for service.

1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.
2. Extend the server to the maintenance position in the rack.
3. Attach an anti-static wrist strap.
4. Remove the server top cover.

2. Remove the Front Indicator Module:

1. Disconnect the LED indicator module cable from the motherboard. Note - You might need to disconnect the SAS cable connections from the Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA, Internal card in PCIe slot 11 to access the LED indicator module motherboard cable connection. To ease removal of the LED indicator module cable, slightly lift the SAS cable bundles from the cable trough along the left side of the chassis.
2. Remove the three No. 2 Phillips screws that secure the FIM cable and Temp Sensor Access cover to the chassis.
3. Lift up and remove the FIM cable and Temp Sensor Access cover from the FIM cable and Temp Sensor Access cover slot. Set aside the FIM cable and Temp Sensor Access cover.
4. Remove the two No. 2 Phillips screws that secure the LED indicator module to the server front panel.
5. Remove the LED indicator module and cable from the server front panel.
6. Remove the LED indicator module cable by carefully pulling the cable through the cable trough along the left side of the chassis.

3. Install the replacement Front Indicator Module:

1. Unpack the replacement FIM.
   
2. Push the LED indicator module and cable through the LED housing on the server front panel.
3. Install the LED indicator module cable by carefully pulling the cable through the cable trough along the left side of the chassis. Note - To ease installation of the LED indicator module cable, slightly lift the SAS cable bundles from the cable trough along the left side of the chassis.
4. Insert and tighten the two No. 2 Phillips screws to secure the LED indicator module to the server front panel.
5. Install the FIM cable and Temp Sensor Access cover to the chassis by inserting it into the FIM cable and Temp Sensor Access cover slot being careful not to damage the temperature sensor when installing the FIM cable and Temp Sensor Access cover to the chassis.
   
6. Install the three No. 2 Phillips screws to secure the FIM cable and Temp Sensor Access cover to the chassis
7. Reconnect the LED indicator module cable to the motherboard. Note - You might need to disconnect the SAS cable connections from the Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA, Internal card in PCIe slot 11 to access the LED indicator module motherboard cable connection.
   

4. Return the Server to operation

1. Install the server top cover.
2. Remove any anti-static measures that were used.
3. Return the server to it's normal operating position within the rack.
4. Re-install the AC power cords and any data cables that were removed but not yet replaced.
